John Cottrell joins us for FCBD 2014!

John Cottrell is an independent comic artist, frequent nap taker and lover of fine beer. You’ve probably never heard of him and that’s okay!

He’s done work for Dark Horse Comics, The Adam Carolla Podcast and has on occasion helped people move, but that is contingent on free pizza. He won’t budge on this.

Currently he’s working (slowly) on his revenge web-comic Grim Law, his all-ages book The Rightful Hare as well as making himself look like an idiot in attempt to make his daughter laugh.

He’ll have comics, prints and art available at the convention. You should buy all of them because kids are expensive, man. They don’t tell you that ahead of time either.

Feel free to chat him up on Twitter.
